European Economic Community. (EEC, the Common Market), a state-monopoly organization of six Western European countriesâFrance, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The community was created to join the economies of the member nations into a unified âcommon market.â.
It established the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) which was joined by France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Under the Treaty of Rome which came into force in 1958, these six countries founded the European Economic Community and European Atomic Energy Community to work alongside the ECSC. In 1967 the three communities merged to become collectively known as the European Communities (EC) whose main focus was on cooperation in economic and agricultural affairs.
